Abstract

Doğada ulusal ve uluslararası değere sahip alanlar üzerinde geri dönülmez zararlar oluşmaya başlamasıyla birlikte dünyada ve Türkiye’de “korunan alan” kavramı gündeme gelmiştir. Milli parklarda bu korunan alanlardan birisidir. Küre Dağları Milli Parkı, Türkiye ve dünyada korunma önceliği yüksek alanlardan birisidir. Milli parkın barındırdığı doğal, kültürel ve rekreasyonel değerlerinden, milli parkın yakın çevresinde yaşayan yöre halkı çeşitli şekillerde faydalanmaktadır. Ancak milli parklardan faydalanma Orman Kanunu, Milli Parklar Kanunu gibi ulusal ve Biyolojik Çeşitlilik Sözleşmesi, Nesli Tehlikede Olan Yabani Hayvan ve Bitki Türlerinin Uluslararası Ticaretine İlişkin Sözleşme gibi uluslararası pek çok düzenleme ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Küre Dağları Milli Parkı yakın çevresinde yaşayan ve milli parktan çeşitli şekillerde faydalanan yöre halkının, milli parkta uygulanan yasal mevzuat hakkındaki bilgi düzeylerini belirleyebilmektir. Bu amaçla çalışma kapsamında Küre Dağları Milli Parkı Tampon Bölgesi’nde yer alan 68 köyde yaşayan yöre halkı ile anket çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Anket yıl boyunca köylerde ikamet eden 18 yaşüstü 258 katılımcıya uygulanmıştır. Anket çalışması ile yöre halkının milli parktan ne şekillerde faydalandığı, bu faydalanmanın yasal düzenlemeler çerçevesinde yapılıp yapılmadığı ve alanda uygulanan mevzuat hakkında bilgi sahibi olup olmadıkları belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Sonuç olarak Küre Dağları Milli Parkı tampon zonunda yaşayan yerel halkın, milli parkla ilgili uygulanan yasal mevzuat hakkındaki bilgilerinin yeterli düzeyde olmadığı ve uymaları gereken kurallara riayet etmedikleri belirlenmiştir

DETERMINATION OF THE KNOWLEDGE LEVELS OF LOCAL PEOPLE REGARDING PROTECTED AREA LEGISLATION: “KURE MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK CASE”

Abstract

Along with irrevocable damages on the areas of national and international value, the concept of “protected area” has been put on the agenda in Turkey as in the world. National Parks constitute one of the mentioned protected areas. Kure Mountains National Park (KMNP) is one of the areas of top priority both in Turkey and in the world in terms of protection. The local people living in or around the national park benefit variously from the natural, cultural and recreational landscape values of the park. However, the way people benefit from the national park is limited by a number of national arrangements such as the Law on Forest and Law on National Parks and by such international arrangements as Convention on Biological Diversity, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, etc. This study aims at determining the knowledge levels of the local people living close to KMNP about the legal legislation applicable in the national park. To this end, a survey was conducted with the local people living in 68 villages in KMNP Buffer Zone. The survey was made with 258 participants over the age of 18 who dwell in villages throughout the whole year. The survey aimed at ascertaining whether the local people abide by the relevant rules and whether they are informed of the legislation. It was found that the local people are not adequately informed of the legislation applicable to the national park and that they do not abide by the relevant rules.
